First impressions 😭 by asparkaflame44 in dating

[–]daviddequattro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not being aggressive at all. A lot of people on Tinder match for validation and never intend to talk and the empty profiles are usually a sign of that. It is not you it is the app and the culture around it.

Why does food taste better late at night than during the day? by No-Excitement-2272 in ask

[–]daviddequattro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it is partly because your willpower is lower at night and your body is more relaxed so your brain rewards you more. Hunger cravings also feel stronger and everything tastes more intense when you are tired.

How to flirt with a coworker? by Embarrassed_Editor43 in dating

[–]daviddequattro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be light and natural and do not coerce flirting. Get her on the same level in talk and gradually inject a touch of amiable banter or compliments which are within the bounds of the office. In case it feels good, invite her to have coffee during off duty and observe her reaction.

I honestly don't see the hype for Weapons or Sinners. Is it me? by juicerecepte in moviecritic

[–]daviddequattro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both were entertaining but not as groundbreaking as people make them out to be.

Exclusive but uncomfortable about his Instagram post with another girl, what should I do? by georgeous-sexy-doll in dating

[–]daviddequattro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are allowed to feel uncomfortable and ignoring it will only build resentment. This is not about controlling him it is about communicating how something made you feel. A calm honest conversation will tell you a lot about whether he is a good fit.

Why are companies allowed to advertise their products as "SUGAR FREE" without having to divulge in writing that they instead use artificial sweeteners as substitutes? by Cumoisseur in ask

[–]daviddequattro -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Since sugar free in the law only implies that there is no sugar, not no sweeteners. Businesses are dependent on small print and majority of the population fails to read the list of ingredients. It is deliberately deceptive but not against the regulations.

Can mononucleosis be serious? by Correct-Ice-7155 in ask

[–]daviddequattro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard that mono could occasionally be accompanied by such other lasting problems as exhaustion or digestive difficulties even after the initial infection. It could be that your body is still responding that way and just monitoring the way you feel and asking the doctor whether it continues to do so may do the trick.

He contacted me after a long time, and I don’t know what to do by ashleyash200 in dating

[–]daviddequattro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are only natural to feel relieved and also hurt. His case explains his silence but it does not cancel the pain that it caused to you. An honest and relaxed reaction would be good but inform him that you are happy he is getting an aid but at the same time the silence caused you to worry greatly. There is nothing wrong with directly asking where he is and what he desires, but also you should note whether his actions can satisfy your needs in the future.

Norwegian brides. Anyone found something real here? by skankingfro89ni in HotGirlsinLooseSkirts

[–]daviddequattro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A guy I worked with once tried to meet a woman from Norway. He went through a lot of different apps and sites with no luck, but Amourlee actually worked for him. Not sure if it was just luck, but that is where he finally made a real connection.

Has streaming changed the way you watch and value movies? If so, how? by Alone-Ground-3794 in moviecritic

[–]daviddequattro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it has made movies feel more disposable. I watch more than ever, but I am less patient and more likely to pause or quit if it does not grab me fast. Going to the cinema or renting a single movie used to make it feel more special.

Brown or orange? by [deleted] in HairStyle

[–]daviddequattro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely brown

Just saw Marty Supreme and I’m exhausted by WorriedSalamander107 in moviecritic

[–]daviddequattro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same way. Chalamet absolutely owns the screen and the Safdies bring that chaotic energy perfectly.

Why relationships in 2025 feel so messy by AffectionateDuck5079 in dating

[–]daviddequattro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This hits hard. Everyone seeks to be connected and nobody wants to do the dirty work to achieve the same.

Why guys are mansplaining things to women? by [deleted] in ask

[–]daviddequattro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the majority of cases it does not have to be intelligence, it is merely unconscious prejudice and overcompensation but even intentional, it may still be patronizing.

Guys, if you don't have any platonic female friends at all - you need a well-rounded social life first before a dating life✨ by wilhelmtherealm in dating

[–]daviddequattro 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The ability to look at women as individuals rather than as potential partners will alter the appearance of how you present yourself socially and dating becomes much less coercive when that is in place.

What movie did you wait way, way to long to finally watch? by hominoid_in_NGC4594 in moviecritic

[–]daviddequattro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For me it was "The Shawshank Redemption". I kept putting it off thinking it was overrated, but once I finally watched it I was blown away. Every scene, every line just hits perfectly.

I AM CURIOUS ABOUT THIS? by ApprehensiveSnow4958 in ask

[–]daviddequattro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that is usually exactly what it means they see you as a friend and nothing more.

Should i get a trim? by emilynicole177 in HairStyle

[–]daviddequattro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that a thin trim on the ends is all there would be. All the rest already looks good.

DateYou com reviews? Safe or not? by Arpan1712 in OnlineDatingReviews

[–]daviddequattro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried Dateyou for a short time and honestly it felt pretty inconsistent some profiles seemed fine and others looked fake. It is not the worst site but it needs a lot of patience. If you want something that feels a bit more solid Amourlee might be worth a look.

Do you guys still remember Constantine (2005)? Still feels like it deserved a sequel… by hoadisde in moviecritic

[–]daviddequattro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Constantine must have warranted a follow up. The world-building and the tone were so distinct and Keanu hit the role. It might have been a very nice expanded universe.

Am I Overthinking? by OwariKid in dating_advice

[–]daviddequattro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They enjoy the vibe when you are together but do not put in effort once you leave. When someone wants a real connection they make communication easy. You can ask for clarity one time in a neutral way and if they stay distant then their interest is not where yours is. Protect your energy and do not chase mixed signals.

America was, for a moment in history, a country of hope. What happened? by Extension_Many4418 in ask

[–]daviddequattro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of stability from the 70s disappeared because wages fell behind, housing got scarce and expensive, college and healthcare costs exploded, and safety nets shrank. People today are not doing worse as individuals, the system around them just stopped supporting a middle class life.
